Ever since I got my first Easy-Bake oven, I knew I was made to cook stuff. Even though my dad never put a light bulb in it, I still ripped open those packets of powder and stirred my little heart out. I kept waiting for that light bulb until I forgot that there was a pan full of yellow cake batter in the oven, and we put the Easy-Bake in storage. Once we cleaned out the shed and found the pan, now encrusted with bugs and moss, we threw the oven away. The Easy-Bake may have never been lit, but the spirit of cookery was kindled! And so now I spend my days trying to find the flavors I want with as little pain involved as possible.
I realized as I grew up that there were flavors I wanted that came with textures I didn't. Tomatoes, onions, pickles, nuts; all of these things were bothersome but tasty. Even worse, they are things that my parents like to eat. High school brought along a flavor that I don't think I can ever do without - Sriracha. Those who have had it know how it works; once taste and you're hooked. Better than ketchup. There are also things I see all the time that I want to try, but having picky siblings, I haven't had the chance to. Working at a grocery store has not only given me a paycheck, but also the experience to find products that I never knew existed.
My goal with this blog is to achieve three things: create recipes that have good taste, recipes that use Sriracha, and to review products and promote those that are excellent but unheard of. I hope you enjoy!
